Well I'm awake now , body clock turned on it's head I think,
The painkillers will no doubt make me sleepy eventually , I also took 2 tramadol so hopefully will get back to sleep , just having another cuppa,
I've talked to my sis this afternoon about getting back on plan , she agrees with Kay that I should let my body repair itself this week , to get over the anaesthetic and also to make sure my stomach isn't empty with all the painkillers I'm taking ATM,
That doesn't mean I'm going to stuff myself (although I've been doing a good job so far )
Well no on the scale of things I haven't but compared to what I was eating pre op I am def eating more, but it seems to be bread /toast I'm eating ,
The scales showed up yesterday and I was quite devastated by it , I wasn't even going to post the result but burying my head in the sand won't make it disappear,
It showed a gain of 10lb,
Really in 5 days by eating the equivalent of prob 1/2 a loaf of bread , I thought you had to eat in excess of a certain number of cals to gain 1lb,
So Kay and my sis calmed me down making me realise that the swelling round my knee and the bruising will have a lot to do with it , and my body will be holding a lot of fluid, as well as all the meds I'm taking,
I haven't been drinking my 3L water , I'm not even getting a litre ATM,
And to add to everything else totm is due, my boobs feel like there going to explode they are so sore, so all in all I'm just a bag of water,
So my plan for tomorrow or should I say today is to eat health , chan has bought me lots of fruit he went to the market and got me apples, oranges , bananas, strawberries, peaches and nectarines , on a plus side were almost out of bread maybe just enough for us both to have toast for brekkie then that finished, he doesn't really eat a lot of bread so I've said not to buy another loaf , he's made me a chopped salad , that's in a container in the fridge, there's some turkey left , sis cooked it and I brought it back with me should be ok still, and there's frozen veg that I can make a soup with,
So it's healthy stuff and I can get myself back on plan I will aim to eat small meals at regular intervals,
Chans back at work tomorrow , so he's stressing over leaving me, but I've reassured him il be fine ,
This is a long post , can tell I'm not sleepy wish there was someone else awake lol

Aawww hope infections clear up soon,
I'm ok , the rehab does make it ache but each day gets a bit easier, on the whole I was expecting a lot more pain , when they first got me to stand I was dreading it, but when I put slight weight on it the pain eased , the nurse said it can sometimes hurt more resting it, seemed bizarre ,
But ATM I'm only bending it when doing exercises and only slightly it's not to be bent to 90 deg yet, so that's for a fortnight then I start to bend it while weight bearing , not looking forward to kneeling on it or crouching down for the first time,
Then I've to make sure it's strong enough before I return to work , coz that involves crouching and kneeling as well as stairs on a daily basis,

My knees hurt when I kneel and as far as I remember they always have even when I was a kid, I've always preferred to just bend down rather than crouch too as it was much easier. Even now at my age and carrying all this excess baggage I can still put the palms of my hands flat on the ground with my knees straight. Used to be able to get lower but old age has seen to that.

Yea I think I may have to adapt to suit , I've been bending rather than crouching most of last year as the pain was too bad,
Whoo hoo flexy lady , that's great

That was when I was a student so an awfully long time ago now, I used to really enjoy it and went to 3 different classes each week as well as going to the gym and swimming and badminton each week. God I was so fit but even then I wasn't thin. Fun times they were thoughand when I look at how little I can do now it makes me so sad. I even represented the Uni at a contest a couple of times. And gave demos at shows etc. How times have changed for me
Not been doing much recently, lost my mojo, Going to a show on Sunday to meet up with pals and to hopefully get some inspiration. Don't want to spend too much money though cos I can't justify spending if I'm not using any of it.
Just starting to get light here can't hear birdies cos telly is on.
